speakup newbie

speakup newbie

[Mike Reiser]

Hello,

I just joined and would like to try speakup.  I'm using ubuntu in a 
windows VM session.  Can speakup be used on ubuntu with espeak?  Just 
thought it might be a little better at reading stuff then orca at times 
in terminal.  Thanks,

Mike

Re: speakup newbie

[Willem van der Walt]

Yes.
Speakup is IMHO better in console mode.
I am not an ubuntu user so cannot really give you specific instructions.  
If you use speech-dispatcher orca and speakup can co-exist peasfully 
together.
Regards, Willem

Some basic Ubuntu instructions follow.
Install the speech-dispatcher and speechd-up packages with apt-get.
Then load the speakup_sftsyn module.
with modprobe.

To get this module to load on boot add it to the modules that are loaded at
boot time with:
echo speakup_sftsyn >>/etc/modules

SpeakUp Newbie

[Stoppard]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1002 bytes --]

Hi all,
I am new to this list so please go easy on me.  After reading some of the posts i feel like i have jumped into an Olympic size swimming pool.

The reason why i joined this list is because i have wanted to start using Linux for quite some time but other things have got in the way.  I think i would like to start with something fairly simple like ZipSpeak as i am running windows 98.  But i don't know much about hardware synthiszers.  I was thinking of going for the Double talk Lt, but after reading the archives i belive some one said they had to flash the bios before it would work with speak up.
I am looking for something on the cheap side that will work with Jaws too (if needed).  The Dec talk express seems to crop up a lot but like i said i really don't know much about hardware sythiszers or where to get them.

Also i Notice that when i get messages from this list they are , (i think) being from the person and not,
speakup@braille.uwo.ca

Thanks in advance,
Nigel, (UK)

Well, as of now, you will need a piece of hardware -- this may
change, but not quickly.  

It will cost you some significant money -- the Lighttalk is going to
be in the $300 u.s. range -- other things are more expensive unless
you can get them used.

zipspeak is no longer being maintained, so that is no longer an
option.

If you just want to play, there are two linux distributions on a cd
which talk, which are both derivations of knoppix.  To do those, you
would have to download them and burn the cds yourself.

One is based on speakup which not in its final location at
ftp.braille.uwo.ca and the other one is based on emacspeak which is
at http://oralux.org .

Also, I highly recomend you get speakfreely and get on the reflector
and ask there -- you will find people on there who will give you a
few pointers along this road.

I hope some of  these help you.

P.S.  The from: line does point back to the person, but if you notice
there is a reply which points back to the list.  Also, if you could
turn off your html, this would be helpful on this list.
